Entertaining For a low budget movie it held my interest. I enjoyed the plots and the characters were relatable.
Perhaps being in that situation you can understand the battle between right and wrong and how easy it could be to make the wrong choice. Although some of the dialogue was cliche, it seemed to be at the right moments and coming from the right character's saying them. Maybe I'm a sucker for characters finding love in the wrong places but it works for me. I enjoyed seeing all the locations in Brooklyn, probably because it m a Brooklyn boy. New York films feel gritty and fun. So again for me it worked.
